What is wrong with our society?

Take a look at the boy in the picture. He's just another sad example of disgusting hatred that infects our society. He was recently killed in his school in California. While sitting at a computer a classmate shot him in the head. What could he possible do that was so terrible to deserve death? He came out that he was gay. This was obviously too much for someone to handle. But why? Was this child, 15 when he was killed, hurting anyone? I doubt it. What business is it of anyone's. A person's own sexual orientation is their business. If they want to share it, fine. However, it still does not justify any mistreatment because of that. Everyone has opinions, fine. Keep them to yourself. People that are strait, gay, red, blue, and pokadotted are ALL PEOPLE. It blows my mind that anyone could hate someone based on such a superficial level. So sad. Here is the link to the article about this tragedy.

It was awhile ago, but still....

 

 

 

 

Here are some pictures of us at the ICA (Institute for Contemporary Art) in Boston. The last Saturday of every month is free and family-centered. Well, free except for the $11 it costs to park but that's what you get in Boston. It was fun. Joa and Lisa made family trees to add to the wall. Others made their family trees too and then they made roots to connect them. The first picture is from a room that is floor to ceiling glass. Very cool way to see Boston.

ick, sick

While I am not sick-yet- it seems that everyone else is. My poor Taylor has the flu, Ella is recovering from double ear infections, Averie has some kind of bug, and I am sitting on the couch typing this with one hand as a sick Lars sleeps on my lap. He hasn't been himself and this morning while lying in bed with me he had a major vomiting streak. It's amazing how many things used to totally gross me out and how pretty much nothing does anymore. This afternoon he had a few seizures which led to him getting his med. for that. That would be what led him to his current drugged state. Say a prayer for all of these beautiful children that they won't have to be sick much longer and that the adults that are around them won't get it next!

Burrrrr.....

 

It sure is cold here in Massachusetts!

Wayside Chappel

 

 

 

Here is the chappel that is on the ground of the Wayside Inn. Hard to go past it and not see weddings in summer months, or at least wedding pictures being taken. So beautiful!

Wayside Inn

 

 

 

These are some pictures that I took awhile back. This is the mill at the Wayside Inn. It is the next town over from Lars' and is so beautiful. This is the mill on the Inn's grounds. Check it out!

Sledding!

 

 

 

Here's some pictures of Lars sledding. I am not in them, as I was the camera girl. Today has been an interesting New England day. It rained, snowed, and was sunny in between. Kind of reminded me of Ohio.

Change of Plans

As it turns out the interview didn't happen. It had to be rescheduled for next Monday. Oh well, more time to get ready!
